[BUG] Uncommitted work was silently lost

What's Wrong?

Here's what Claude said to report:

1. Uncommitted work was silently lost — GTK changes were done but not committed before Qt commits went in, and nothing warned that work was about to be lost.
2. API timeouts on large code generation — caused endless restart loops during the recovery work.
3. The step-at-a-time workaround — small edits committed individually was the only reliable way to complete the work.

What Should Happen?

Code changes should never be silently lost. It took hours to recreate what had already been done, adding even more stress to your already overloaded servers. It was truly shocking and mind boggling when it happened.

Error Messages/Logs

There were none. It was just a complete debacle.

Steps to Reproduce

It's a big project. I couldn't possibly tell you the specific steps, or when or why it happened. As I said it was just crazy and shocking and infuriating.
